Understood.  I'm wondering now though if you haven't stumbled into a right
old hornet's nest with the icon competition.  Giving users a choice is
sometimes a Bad Thing ;) and after seeing some of the entrants for the
competition there are a few sets (no names, no pack drill) that if they made
it into the final release would seriously put me off using Haiku.  I would
*strongly* urge the dev team to include the ability to change the icon theme
from the default set of icons.  For example, after installing Ubuntu a few
days ago, the first thing I did was change the icons while leaving the
frames and controls as the default.

It is indeed a copyright issue. It wouldn't surprise me if there were 
potential trademark issues on some of the icons, too.

I don't want to raise a dust storm, so I will just smile. :-)
